GM2 gangliosidosis variant 0 (Sandhoff disease, SD) is a fatal, progressive, neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease caused by simultaneous deficiencies of acid β-hexosaminidases A and B. Canine SD has so far been identified only in two purebreeds. In this article, we present the case of a 10 mo old, male dog of mixed breed that developed progressive neurological signs including ataxia, postural deficit, and visual deficits and finally died at the age of 21 mo. The dog was diagnosed with SD on the basis of the results of biochemical and histopathological analyses. This is the third report of canine SD and the first time it has been identified in a mixed breed.
GM2神经节苷脂沉积症0型(桑德霍夫病,SD)是一种致命的、进行性的神经退行性溶酶体贮积病,由酸性β-己糖胺酶A和B同时缺乏引起。犬类SD迄今为止仅在两个纯种犬中被发现。在本文中,我们报告了一例10月龄的杂种雄性犬病例,该犬出现了包括共济失调、姿势缺陷和视觉缺陷在内的进行性神经症状,最终于21月龄时死亡。根据生化和组织病理学分析结果,该犬被诊断为SD。这是犬类SD的第三份报告,也是首次在杂种犬中发现该病。
